This Mummy Portrait Isn’t From Roman Egypt - It Was Generated by AI
An Instagram post claimed a newly discovered Fayum portrait of a young man was a genuine Roman‑Egyptian artifact, but investigators traced the image to Midjourney, an AI image generator. The AI prompt instructed the system to mimic the encaustic technique used in authentic Fayum portraits, yet experts identified inconsistencies in the background and material rendering. Reverse‑image searches and material‑science analysis confirmed the work was a modern digital creation, not a 2nd‑century AD mummy portrait. The case highlights the growing challenge of AI‑generated forgeries in the art world.
